Leader’s Line…
90 & Lovin’ It!
MICK WOODBURY, PRESIDENT
T
here were a lot of notable happenings in 1925. Calvin Coolidge was elected president and his inauguration
was the first to be broadcast on radio. The Chrysler Corporation was formed and the forerunner of the
Grand Ole Opry began broadcasting what would become the world’s longest-running live radio broadcast.
And believe it or not, you could get a Thompson sub-machine gun from Sears Catalog for $175.
There were some memorable births too. Charles
Chaplin Jr., Jack Lemmon, Merv Griffin and Peter
Sellers were born, along with car guy John De Lorean,
astronaut Scott Carpenter and former first lady
Barbara Bush.
Another noteworthy beginning was the Long Beach
Casting Club, which means that 2015 will be our 90th
year. Ninety years is a major milestone and one well
worth a big celebration.
What does a club that has been blessed with so much
do for its 90th? LBCC’s resources uniquely position us to
host an event that is the biggest gift to the fly fishing
community any Club can give. We have the venue, the
know-how, talent and access to talent, manpower
and a reputation that is unique in our area. It will be
our own Fly Fishing Fair but I prefer to look at it as
a Friend Raiser. It’s scheduled for April 10 & 11 and
consists of two parts.
PREMIER TALENT: Part One - Our anchor talent is
casting wizard, Chris Korich. Chris is an ACA Hall of
Famer. He holds or has held ten national records and
has been on the All American Casting Team 34 times.
He is 107 time ACA National Casting Champion, holds
74 gold metals, 110 silver and 56 bronze metals. Chris
has agreed to come to our Club on Friday, April 9th and
hold a casting workshop for our members.
As a bonus, he’s bringing a young protégé, Maxine
McCormick. Maxine is only 11, but she’s already
out casting the ladies and most of the men. She’s a
typical preteen, except when she steps into the box
and becomes deadly accurate. The two of them will
offer wonderful inspiration. Maxine’s dad is no casting
slouch either. He’ll be here too.
THE BIG DAY: Part Two - Saturday, April 10th, will
see a full schedule of events, both on the pond and
in the class room.
ON THE POND: Chris and Maxine will give casting
demonstrations, but we also want to offer hands-on

TARGET TALK
JANUARY 2015
To a Full Glass… Leader’s Line continued from page 1
opportunities for our guests to participate, whether it’s aiming
at targets or participating in casting games. We can offer
demos of Spey and distance casting using other talent. We
have the in-house capability to host those events but I suspect
other clubs will want to participate too.
IN THE CLASS ROOM: More fun things are slated for the
Clubhouse. Fly tying demos are a given by well-known names
from our own ranks, but also other clubs. That list is being
worked on. But wouldn’t it be great to also offer brief workshops
for both fresh and salt water that are similar to our Pre-Trip
Meetings? Our Lower Owens Pre-Trip for example: Everything
you need to know to fly fish the Lower "O". Or Surf or Bay
fishing? Pyramid Lake comes to mind too as well as some of
our local streams. How about a session on what waters fish
best in what months? We have the resources to do it.
FOODIES: We’re not short on culinary talent either. What’s a
90th Anniversary party without pulled pork sandwiches? The
food of course would be for sale. But the event would be free
and if done right would certainly raise awareness of our Club
and most likely result in some new members and possibly
some donations that could go toward the endowment fund.
WHO’S INVITED? Everyone. We’ll publicize it to the public in
the local papers, we’ll have schedules in the fly shops and we’ll
invite all of the So Cal fly fishing clubs. SWCFFF will be invited,
they might even want a booth; the same with PHW. Finally,
since the main draw is casting oriented, some of the rod people
may want to make their rods available for demonstrations too.
Not many organizations (or people) reach 90 years. That is
itself is a milestone. And when you offer the lure of fly fishing
knowhow to an audience of fly fishing enthusiasts, you have
the recipe for a terrific celebration. We’ll benefit, our guests
will benefit and West Coast casting will benefit. Not a bad
win-win for a spry 90-year old who’s still lovin’ it!

Happy New Year! Now
What’s Hatching for 2015?
PABLO GRABIEL, 1ST VICE PRESIDENT
S
o, what is brewing for this coming month and
year? Lots of fishing, I hope, and greater success
at it.
It is 5:15 in the evening and Evan Morgan and I are
on the Upper Sacramento River. The river is running
smoothly with some riffles above us and another
below. We see these caddis flying all over the stream
and get really, really excited. Evan goes upstream and
I move a little bit below to the bottom of the hole.
Tying on an elk hair caddis fly I start fishing. The
line unfurls lays the fly gently on the water. It drifts
on down, I mend a little and begin a gentle swing. I
retrieve and cast again. This is done over and over.
Some of the caddis are falling into the water, others
just drop at my feet. I change my fly after 10 minutes
and still, no success. An hour passes and my head is
spinning, what’s wrong with this picture?
JANUARY 2015
Hailing from New Jersey, Parrella learned to fish with
his father. Something that has never left him. He was
quoted in the UC Davis News and Information in 2004
saying that “Fly-fishing is more than just catching fish,
it’s part of the bigger picture, from how you present the
fly to understanding what a trout looks for in prey. It’s a
consuming passion to outsmart and snare one of these
majestic fish.” Well, Dr. Parrella, I hope that you can
help me and our other club members outsmart and
snare one of these majestic fish.
Come on out, Thursday, January 29th to hear Dr.
Parrella share his knowledge with us and leave as
better fly fishers.
Evan shows up at my side also perplexed. We try a few
more flies, nada, nothing, zilch! We left that stream
bank talking to each other and to ourselves. We were
at a textbook location with a textbook hatch, at the
perfect time on a magnificent day. What went wrong?
To help solve this problem I’m bringing in some big
guns. My first SOS call was to Dr. Michael Parrella,
Department Chair of Entomology at the University
of California, Davis. Dr. Parrella is a fly fisher who
understands bugs, in the university web site there is
a class titled ‘Entomology 198 (Entomology for FlyFishers). I’m thinking that if any of you have ever had a
similar problem, you would also be interested in what
Michael has to share with us. I want to learn more
about the hatch, how to identify them little critters
our fish are supposed to be eating. A knowledge of
bugs alone will not solve the problem, but Dr. Parrella
is an avid fly fisher. Among his favorite streams is the
Fall River, one of California’s blue ribbon streams.

The Lower “O” Club Trip;
January 8–11
JEFF SADLER, PAST PRESIDENT
“There it is, take it” (William Mulholland)
T
he Pre-Trip: Saturday, January 3 rd 9:00 am
to whenever. This is a three-hour scientific,
opinionated, comedy routine meant to inform beginners
(and some not-so beginners) on everything you need
and what to bring to get you from your car in jeans and
sweaters to the river in boots and waders. Yash, Dan,
John, and Jeff empty their vests and souls to tell you
what you do and do not need.
If you are at all interested in the Owens Valley vs. City of
L.A., or farmers versus land speculators, or why the San
Fernando Valley exists, or the dark side of the history of
the DWP; read Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner for
an acerbic opinion, or Water and Power by William
Kahrl for a straightforward view, or see the movie
Chinatown for an inaccurate but very entertaining
treatment. An outstanding description of the whole
Eastern Sierra in all aspects is Deepest Valley by Jeff
Putnam and Jenny Smith. And, if you don’t have the
AAA Eastern Sierra road map you really need to get it.
Where:
1. First you have to get to Bishop and to do so you
will need to end up going north on US 395. Bishop
is 4-6 hours from L.A. depending on your speed,
lunch breaks, where you start, and time of day.
From where 395 turns left in north Bishop it is
6 miles to the Pleasant Valley turnoff (about 0.1
miles after 395 splits into a divided highway).
2. Drive over a small hill and past the campground
on your right. At the end of the campground is
an almost 1800 turn over the river and now the
campground is on your right. Just as you approach
a cattle guard, and before the road turns to gravel,
the footbridge is on your right. Also on your right is
the last restroom before the wilderness.
Wild Trout Section: The Wild Trout section runs
from the footbridge in the Pleasant Valley Campground
downstream approximately five miles to the last
fisherman’s survey box and regulation notice. The river
meanders through an alluvial meadow and is paralleled
by Chalk Bluff Road. The road is washboard gravel, there is
no soft lane nor perfect speed for this rattler but it is well
maintained. Mostly brown trout, some rainbows and Dan
Rivett is the only one ever to catch a bass.
The River: Currently running at under 100 cfs. Due to the
dam release the river can vary from a low flow of around
100 cfs to a high of 700 cfs.
Final Reminders:
1. Remember your sunblock and hold hands while
crossing the street and do you have your 2015 fishing
license???
2. Free Subway sandwich noon on Saturday.
3. Pizza at the Factory Saturday night
4. They are checking licenses and hooks, so
beware…….

Pyramid Cutts to 17 Pounds!
MARC BONVOULOIR , MEMBER
T
hat’s the headline in the November 28th issue of
Western Outdoor News. The article goes on
to say there were 25 Cutthroat trout over 10 pounds
caught Thanksgiving week. Wow, who doesn’t want to
catch the trout of a lifetime? Well, now’s your chance
to do it as the LBCC will have a trip to Pyramid Lake
from April 16-19 in 2015.
A few months ago, noted fly fishing guide Ernie Gulley
was our guest speaker at the monthly meeting and
many of you were amazed at the number and size of
the ancient Lahontan Cutthroat trout he has caught
over the years at Pyramid. The guide that Ernie swears
by is Doug Ouellette who has fished the lake for 40
years and has developed a number of super successful
flies that catch big fish. Doug will be doing a clinic for
us on Friday, April 17 in which he will teach us all the
aspects of fishing Pyramid starting with lake side
instructions including rigging details, various retrieve
techniques and flies for still water and streamer
fishing. He will follow that up by getting us on the
water with ladders or just standing in the water.
Doug will also provide a barbecue lunch on the
beach. He will be with us all day helping with more
instructions and hopefully netting some monster
Cutts! Doug will also be there for us the entire next
day and will let us know where to meet and will
provide more instructions prior to the trip.
If we have a nice turn out, which we expect will be
the case, additional guide/instruction support will be
provided. The club and Doug have set up a great price
for accommodations at the Western Village Hotel in
Sparks NV for $49 per night. If you find a roommate,
that price is divided by 2! The price for the clinic is $200
per person. That includes two days of instructions,
leader setup, free flies, lunch on Friday and hopefully
netting and photographing a fish of a lifetime. You
will need to purchase Paiute Indian permits on your
own, details will be provided. An option available is to
arrange additional guided days prior to or after our
trip with Doug.
Paul Nakamura and I will be organizing the trip. I used
Doug to guide me in late October and Doug got me on
half a dozen fish with the largest being 5 pounds in a
morning of fishing. Paul has also successfully fished
the lake a number of times. Space will be limited to
20 fly fishers, so please let us know right away to sign
up and we will email the entire trip details. Email or
call us if you have any questions at: Marc Bonvouloir mrmlb21@gmail.com, 213-369-9525 or Paul Nakamura
Pnaka46@hotmail.com, 310-487-3367
By the way, that 17 lb. Cutthroat was caught on a black
fly—not bait or lure and from shore—not in a boat
or float tube!

Maggie Merriman
Entomology Workshop
JOHN VAN DERHOOF, EDITOR
O
n Saturday, March 28, 2015 join Maggie
Merriman at the Long Beach Casting Club for
her 18th Annual Basic Entomology Workshop for Fly
Fishers.
You will learn how to “Match the Hatch” and how
to select the correct fly for a given situation. Maggie
stresses the use of common English names and
not the biological “Latin” names many associate
with entomology, so you can leave your Acroneuria
californicas at home.
The class will begin around 9:00 am and run until
1:00 pm. The cost for the workshop is $50.00 and
includes samples of insects, corresponding flies and
an extensive handout. Bring a snack, note pad and
some fly boxes to look at and compare the insects.
You must Pre-Register for the workshop by March
21, 2015 by mailing the fee to: Maggie Merriman,
1508 Santiago Drive, Newport Beach, CA 92660, or
you can call her with any questions you may have at
949-646-5129. You will receive an exact map of the
location upon registering.
This is a great class for the beginning fly fisher. It
provides a lot of very practical knowledge that will
allow the individual to make proper choices when
selecting a fly at streamside.
Notes from the Pond
DAVID BOYER, CAPTAIN
T
hanks to Mark Tsunawaki for the article
on the Northwestern Tournament at the
Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club last
month. Now we need to turn out attention to
the Southwestern Tournament scheduled for
February 14–15, 2015 here at the LBCC pond. We
have had great participation from the general
membership in putting on past events and hope
we can get volunteers for the next one. We will
be putting together a “roster” of those who
can help and try to limit time commitments to
about two hour stints. There will be volunteer/
score keeping sign up sheets on the board next
to the mud room for those interested or please
contact me or Mark as we would appreciate the
all the help we can get.
To assist those interested in possibly competing,
alternating Sundays are scheduled to have
various tournament games. The games are
intended to help improve plug, accuracy and
distance casting. Check the roster and the
calendar for the schedules.
Mark Flo has donated some casting targets that
can stay in the pond or be moved to locations
as desired. He will also be producing some
additional target for the plug casters. These
seem to be a lot easier for members as we do not
need to do a “set up” of our formal targets. For
those who prefer to cast to “fish”, they are still
out there and those can also be moved.
Tight Lines!

It Just Doesn’t Get any
Better than this!
PABLO GRABIEL, 1ST VICE PRESIDENT
T
he venison stag went off without a hitch and
judging from the accolades for “iron chefs” John
Lincoln and his sidekick daughter, Thea, the dinner
was huge success. John gave most of the credit to a
helpful kitchen crew, but we all know the Lincoln’s
have a magic touch for choice prime rib. It was cutit-with-a fork-tender.
The clubhouse looked beautiful thanks the Al and
Judy Ross and their talented team of helpers and the
kitchen was left spotless by a hard-working volunteer
clean-up crew.
Stand-in MC Mick Woodbury honored past president
#42, Jack Turner, and the crowd loved hearing one
of Jack’s poems about a long-past Club trip to Vail
Lake with his good fishing friend, past president #36,
Frank Messersmith. It was called, It Just Doesn’t
Get Any Better Than This and involved more than
one snafu with a boat load of bad weather thrown
in too.
Then an anonymous poem about Jack Turner was
unveiled. It featured an opening day club trip and the
night-before festivities. The not-very-historicallyaccurate tome recalled instant response by Jack to
a bear to avoid damage to the group’s waders. The
crowd was delighted.
There was also a drawing prize for the volunteers
who helped during the year and Dick Freeman of Seal
Beach won a gift certificate to Marriott’s.
Year End Opportunity
MICK WOODBURY, PRESIDENT
W
ith stock indexes finishing at record
highs, those with flush portfolios still
have time to reduce their resultant tax liabilities by making year-end donations. Please
remember to add the Long Beach Casting
Club’s Endowment Fund to your list.
The LBCC’s Endowment is actively growing.
It has doubled already this year thanks to an
anonymous donor and there are firm plans to
double it again next year.
A $5000 year-end donation came about
because of a donor’s insight into how a
healthy endowment fund ensures the club’s
future. Furthering his generosity was his
promise to make similar annual gifts if the
Board starts a matching gift program within
the club. It should come as no surprise that
the Board voted to do so at its December
Board meeting.
These year-end donations help ensure our
club’s ongoing inputs to the quality of life of
future generations of fly fishers. Please make
your own personal gift at this time. Make
sure your accompanying letter designates the
LBCC’s endowment fund as the beneficiary.
Our clubs IRS 501-c3 status makes all donations tax exempt and you will receive a letter
of acknowledgement for tax purposes.

Fly of the Month: Looped-Wing Emerger
JOHN VAN DERHOOF, EDITOR
O
ne of the most difficult tasks in fly fishing is determining which fly fish are eating during a hatch. Some
waters in this country, like the Henry’s Fork or Silver Creek, are so well known and documented that
you can find lists and charts of mayfly species and other insects that might be hatching on the given day
you are there. This dramatically reduces the number of options you are faced with but, unfortunately, is not
much help for the rest of the North America.
When the life of a fly fisher is tormented with the vagaries of fly selection then, often times, a generic approach
should be made. When fish are being finicky something like the Looped-Wing Emerger is an appropriate
choice. This pattern performs several functions very well but the two key ones are illusion and universality.
It rides low in the water like any good emerger should and gives the illusion of an insect that is trapped in the
surface film (meniscus). The materials used in the Looped-Wing Emerger are selected specifically to allow
the fly to float with the wing and thorax in the film and with the tail and body below the surface. Even the tail
offers the illusion of being either a tail or a shuck still attached to the insect struggling to pull itself free of it.
It is universal in its ability to represent several different types of insects that are available to a fish and not
just another mayfly. Mayflies, caddis, midges and even terrestrials-all of these insects could be represented
by the Looped-Wing Emerger.
The Looped-Wing Emerger is easy to tie, is durable and quite effective. Tie it in a wide variety of sizes-from 12
down to 20 or even 22’s and 24’s and in a variety colors such as the olive one that is shown here, pale yellow,
tan, gray and black. Leave off the hackle on the really small flies as it is not really needed in small sizes—
unless you like a challenge.
Materials for tying the Looped-Wing Emerger:

Thread:
Tail:

Thorax:
Wing:
Throat:
Hackle:
Tiemco 2487 or similar

Dry fly hackle to match (light dun)
TARGET TALK
JANUARY 2015
Instructions for tying the Looped-Wing Emerger:
1. Place the hook in the jaws of your vise and
attached the thread just behind the head space
and wind down to the point of the barb. Remove
6 to 10 (depending on the hook size) Zelon fibers
for the tail and tie them in. Their length should
be the same as the body or a little shorter.
2. Select a long thin biot and tie it in by the tip.
Advance the thread forward smoothly to the
starting point of the thorax or about 3/4 the
length of the shank. Wind the biot with a very
slight overlap over the body to the start of the
thorax and tie it off.
3. Select a good quality CDC plume (2 on larger
flies) and tie it in securely by the tip at the start of
the thorax. Apply dubbing to the thread for the
thorax and wind forward to a point just before
the headspace.
4. Grab the butts of the CDC wing and fold the butts
forward forming a loop and tie them down at
the headspace. To make the process easier use
a bodkin in your off hand. The bodkin acts as a
support when folding the fibers over the needle.
With a couple of thread loops over the wing to
hold it in place, grab the wing and the butts with
both hands and slide the wing back and forth
a few times. This helps to make the wing look
fuller and more natural. Undo one of the wraps
at the tie down and re-wrap a couple of turns of
thread to secure the wing.
5. Select a good quality dry fly hackle from the butt
of the neck. Strip of 12 to 18 fibers from near the
tip of the hackle and tie them in as a beard. On
larger flies I will fold the hackle, tie it in by the
tip and wind 2 or 3 turns with the hackle flowing backwards. Bind them down and trim off the
excess. Form a neat, small head, whip finish and
apply some head cement and the Looped-Wing
Emerger is complete. Now, just add water.
